What Do High Eosinophils in a Blood Test Mean, and Should I Be Worried? - #15646
I recently got my blood test results back, and my doctor told me that my eosinophils are higher than normal. I didn’t even know what eosinophils were until now, and I’m trying to understand what this means for my health. From what I read, eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that help fight infections, especially parasites and allergies. But why would my levels be high? Could it be a sign of an undiagnosed allergy, or is something more serious going on? I don’t have any major allergies that I’m aware of, but I have been experiencing more fatigue, nasal congestion, and skin rashes lately—could these be related to high eosinophils? What other symptoms should I be watching out for? I started looking into Ayurveda, and I found that excess eosinophils might be linked to an imbalance in Pitta or Kapha dosha, leading to inflammation and immune overactivity. Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help regulate the immune system and bring eosinophils back to normal levels? I read about turmeric, Guduchi, and Tulsi—has anyone used these for immune balance? For those who have had high eosinophils, what was the cause in your case? Did you need medical treatment, or were you able to bring the levels down naturally? I’d really appreciate any insights on how to manage this issue.
